In mid-September 1824, Lieutenant Henry Miller landed the brig, Amity, on the shores of Redcliffe Peninsula in the Gubbi Gubbi nation and established the First European Settlement in Queensland.
History Redcliffe is currently planning the ways in which we will mark the 200th anniversary of this historic event.
